– More than 190 types of human papillomavirus have been identified. Highly oncogenic viruses are especially distinguished, including 16 and 18, which account for 70% of cervical cancer, 63% of penile cancer, 95% of genital cavity cancer, – noted Victoria Smirnova.
You can become infected with the virus through sexual and contact-household methods (through microcracks). The virus can also be passed from mother to child.
The most common external manifestations of the virus in an infected person are warts (plantar, flat), filiform papillomas and condylomas (located on the genitals). However, sometimes a person may not even realize that he is infected with a virus, since for a long time it can proceed without any clinical manifestations. Therefore, for your own peace of mind, you need to periodically take tests.
